'Trainspotting' at Riverbank
The Silken Thomas Players from Kildare will present Trainspotting in the Riverbank Arts Centre in newbridge for three nights beginning September 22.
The performances begin at 8pm and admission is €12/10.
Based on the best selling novel, blockbuster cult movie and award winning stage play Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh has been described as ‘the best piece of writing ever by man or woman'.
In an exhilarating and unremitting powerhouse stage production by Silken Thomas, Trainspotting is a loosely knotted string of jagged, dislocated tales that lay bare the hearts of darkness of the junkies, wildboys and psychos who ride the down escalator of opportunity in every town and city.
Loud with laughter in the dark, this play is the voice of punk, grown up, grown wiser and grown eloquent. Trainspotting is a play daring and important and not to be missed.
